chances final free help impact throws
They make two free throws and we make one. We go minus-one there. That did not impact the final outcome, but it didn't help our chances any.
bodies main players playing second throw tired
In the second half, they were playing tired because because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. Their main players don't ever come out.
ball billy free helped inside kept second throw ton zone
He still scored a ton from the free throw, but if we hadn't went to the zone he would have had 25 because Billy would have kept making them throw the ball inside to him. So the zone really helped us a lot in the second half.
anybody guard guys playing point start throwing tight touches
Our point guard and two-guard play has been average. That's not throwing anybody under the bus. We've just got to play better. When we do start playing better (at guard) I think our big guys will play better because they'll get more touches in tight at the basket.
against bodies halfway minutes oklahoma physically playing second state throw tired travel
Halfway through the second half, (the Raiders) were physically tired because we were able to throw a lot of bodies at them. We benefited from a travel day for them and them playing 45 minutes against Oklahoma State (on Saturday).
ball good great job missed russell threw throw time tried
We put C.J. on the ball to take away the throw to the rim. That is what they tried to do the time before. Russell didn't do a great job on Neal on the play. It wasn't a good look, but he got off a look. We thought they would throw it to the basket. Fortunately for us, they threw outside, and he missed it so I'll say it was good defense.
best sure
I'm sure we'll get their best shot. We always do.
sure winner
I'm sure the winner will get one of those.
creating enthusiasm job remarkable sure
I'm sure the place will be full. He's done a remarkable job of creating enthusiasm and a mind-set down there.
front game good others
In front of the crowd, I thought they did a pretty good job. Julian was in a hurry. The game was in fast-forward (Friday night) for him. The others all had pretty good composure.
difference forced freshmen hoped knew learn others perfect seniors underneath
I knew we'd be inconsistent. I didn't know to what level. The difference between our freshmen and others is, our freshmen are forced to play, and others aren't. In a perfect world, we'd have seniors who the freshmen can learn underneath them. We've been a little more inconsistent than probably what I hoped so far.
completed information matter people sure
It's not anyone's fault. It was just a matter of getting all of the information compiled and contacting the right people to make sure that he had completed all of the requirements.
cost couple four good shooting teams three
Everybody's shooting two or three or four a game. I think with teams like that, it's why you don't shoot as good a percentage. But 8-for-17 is miserable. It's already cost us a couple of games.
game guys performers sure typical
The big guys were the better performers this game. It sure wasn't a typical game for the perimeter.
